Eagle Creek Packing Cubes Sets

From now on, keeping your backpack or suitcase tidy, clean and organized is easy. With the Eagle Creek packing cubes, you’ll be the most organized traveler around. You’ll also be able to take much more with you when you travel with packing cubes because everything is folded/rolled up and packed away systematically and neatly. The Eagle Creek packing cubes are lightweight and super strong: there’s a reason why they give a lifetime warranty on the cubes, including the zippers! You can buy the packing cubes separately or as a part of one of the sets below. We’ve put these sets together based on the many questions we received about what type of set makes a good starter set. After a lot of testing, fitting, measuring and 2 years of traveling with the cubes ourselves, we’ve managed to put together a set of cubes that makes the perfect basic set for any traveler. This way, you won’t have to think about which cubes you need the first time you travel with packing cubes. And, if you need additional cubes, you can always order them separately. And it’s worth noting that the cubes are cheaper when you buy them in a set rather than separately.

WHICH SET IS THE BEST FIT FOR YOU?

You have a choice between the travel set or the travel set light. Both sets contain different colored cubes so you never end up with two same-sized cubes in the same color. By using different colors, you never have to open all of the cubes to know what’s inside. Make sure you always use the same color for a specific type of clothing. For example, green = shorts and white = shirts. The cubes in the sets come in varying colors. It’s not possible to give a color preference.

CONTENTS BASIC SET

The basic set is a complete set that makes a perfect starter set for different kinds of trips. It contains 2 quarter cubes, 3 half cubes, 1 full cube, and 1 half-sized compression cube. The half-sized compression cube is perfect for packing a thick sweater or a coat. The double zipper allows you to zip the compression cube up really tightly in order to decrease the volume of your clothing. This saves loads of space. If you’re not using the second zipper, the compression cube offers slightly more space than a regular cube. This Eagle Creek packing cube set is the perfect basic set when you’re going on a nice (long) trip and is suitable for most travelers. You save €11,05 when you buy this set rather than buying the cubes separately!

CONTENTS BASIC SET LIGHT

The basic set light contains fewer cubes than the regular set. It contains 1 quarter cube, 2 half cubes, and a full cube. This set is very suitable for men as they generally bring/need less clothing than women. Or for women who like to travel light. The basic set light is also perfect for a short vacation and weekend trips. You save €7,50 when you buy this basic set rather than buying the cubes separately!

WHAT FITS INTO THE INDIVIDUAL CUBES?

To give you an idea of what fits into the cubes, we give a few examples below. Keep in mind that these are indications because it depends entirely on how thick your clothing is. A hoodie will take up more space than a thin sweater, for example. It takes a bit of measuring, but you can fit more into the cube than you would expect!

GUIDELINES FOR WOMEN:

Full cube: a pair of jeans, long sports pants or thick outdoor pants, two sweaters (or a sweater + cardigan) and a legging (or a pair of thin pants).Half cube: +/- 6 shorts (3 sports shorts and 3 shorts made from a thicker fabric). If you’ve got some longer shorts made of something like a jeans fabric you won’t be able to fit quite as much in, but you should be able to fit 5 in. If you’ve got smaller shorts or a lot of shorts made of a thinner fabric you can fit up to 8 shorts in, but it’s going to be tight. Use another half-sized cube for 6-8 t-shirts/tank tops. Or a mix of sports shirts, bras, bikinis, hamam towels XS. Or 4-5 dresses and skirts.Quarter cube: Perfect for underwear (but keep in mind that the cup of a larger bra size won’t fit a quarter cube comfortably; a half-sized cube is better for this). Or 5-6 pairs of socks of different sizes (ankle socks mixed with hiking socks).Half-sized compression cube: A thick sweater, fleece, soft-shell coat or down jacket. Can also be used for other large volume clothing items.

The advice given above is based on a method of folding where you roll the clothes up when flat and place them behind one another inside the cube (see our video at the bottom of this page that shows Annemarie packing her packing cubes). In this way, you use the cubes fully and can easily access the clothing without unpacking the entire cube. This way of packing the cube tightly also saves a lot of space. Unlike regular packing cubes, we advise you not to pack too much clothing inside the compression cubes so they are easier to zip up and the air is squeezed out by the compression system.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE EAGLE CREEK PACKING CUBES BASIC SETS

If you want to expand the sets you can order additional packing cubes or compression cubes. Of course, you can also add a super handy toiletry bag to your travel equipment. And if you’re bringing walking shoes, we recommend adding a shoe storage bag to your travel equipment. Even when your shoes are covered in mud or wet, you can store them in the shoe storage bag. As the shoe storage bag is sealed on the inside it’s easy to clean so the rest of your backpack stays clean and dry. Do you travel with electronic gear such as chargers, cables, an e-reader, a power bank or plug adapters a lot? Then it’s useful to have the eCube.
